Chapter 15.15. GENERAL PROCEDURE FOR ELECTIONS
Sec. 15.15.430. SCOPE OF THE REVIEW OF BALLOT COUNTING.
(a) The review of ballot counting by the director shall include only
(1) a review and comparison of the tallies of hand-marked ballots in the election poll books with the precinct election certificates to correct any mathematical error in the count of hand-marked ballots;
(2) a review of the tallies of write-in votes and a review of election certificates as provided by law from precincts using punch-card ballots;
(3) a review of absentee and questioned ballots as prescribed by law.
(b) If the director finds an unexplained error in the tally of hand-marked ballots in any precinct, the director may count the ballots from the precinct according to the rules set out in AS 15.15.360 . If the director finds the precinct counters have not entered tallies in the precinct tally books but have certified a candidate as having received a fixed number of votes, the director may recount the ballots from that precinct according to the rules set out in AS 15.15.360 . The director shall certify in writing to the state ballot counting review board any changes resulting from the count.
